My Daily Workflow :: Ratta Supernote A5X

This is how I am using the Supernote A5X for my daily planning, task lists, scheduling, and note taking. Lots of tips in here for folks who might be new to this platform... and maybe a few tips for folks who have been around for a while.

Why not make a fake note book for the video instead of using your personal notes?

[@werd2yomother09]

Love the daily planner template! Please tell me there are plans to release a 2022 planner. I just purchased the Supernote based on your videos and this would be extremely useful

[@jonathanisbell1342]

This has been one of the most helpful videos I've seen. I'm on the current preorder and OCDing while I wait. The star, title, global search functions were very important to me and is the reason why I went with Supernote over other platforms. Thanks for creating this content!

[@Janice-jc1hg]

This is the best. Thanks for dropping some more knowledge on us PO. Others are slower to address pre-purchase questions but you get it, it's not just the high level mechanics that are important like it is to most, thats the trend I see anyway but PO owns it, shares a unique process and then walks it back and talks about how and where to use templates. There's a reason to subscribe to Everything right here.

Holy moly, Supernote have done an amazing job with their file management system. This technology is super exciting! Great assessment - subbed.

[@paulbaird1351]

Wow, you should work for SuperNote! Great review of its capabilities, and sounds like your ideas on accessing its storage while not with the device could really boost productivity as well. I'm sold. I'm buying one of these.

Me too.

[@robingates5676]

Thanks for presenting this. I was absolutely able to look past the blurring. I just ordered the 5X and can't wait to get started. I am someone that needs to write things down to remember them. However, I need to be able to share written notes for leadership, project teams, and other depts.

[@bradjanzen4973]

Thankyou very much for the great Demo. I also downloaded your planner and want to say thankyou for sharing that as well. Gratitude mate.

Just Wow! I just bought my SN and waiting on its arrival. Your video was exactly what I needed for organizing my workload. Hoping to find your daily planner template to start using next week.

[@ky1emart]

Currently researching e-ink devices, and the Supernote lineup has really caught my interest. Thanks for taking the time to really dig into the software’s features and describing how you’re actually using them.

[@drew9284]

I came across this on your 2022 planner reddit thread. Thanks for sharing your workflow, I did not know you could do half of these things since the Supernote is so powerful. I'll definitely incorporate some of these into my day to day.

[@mferneau]

Have you created a 2023 planner version? I ordered my A5X just a couple days ago and your planner is exactly the way I work currently.

[@je4444]

Thanks CPO this is the best Super Note video on practical note taking usage and workflow. It’s even featured on the Super Note company website! My question is have you made any optimizations to your workflow system since creating this video over a year ago? If so, could you please share it with us? Thank you again.

[@me7506]

Thank you for the daily planner 2022, and your usage video. Helps me better understand how to use the Supernote A6X. I'm hoping that you offer an upgrade for next year, since it's not far away. You should certainly let us know if we (I) can contribute to your efforts on this. Thanks again and I'm looking for more videos from you regarding how to get the most out of Supernote. Bob

[@brucebailey1371]

Very well organized and explained, thanks!

[@GastonPetrocelli]

Thanks for this. I believe the technology is finally at a level where it's usable and the value added is how well the devices are at helping with a productive workflow. It's not only about taking notes anymore, but what you could do with them that you cannot do with physical notes. Unfortunately, it's on the selling of the (new) hardware where the money is. Could you tell us what is that you'd like the Ratta to be able to do with notes and still doesn't?

[@cruzalexandermusic]

Great video. One week away from delivery. Cant wait!!

[@heidibriones]

Thanks for this! Just pre-ordered one for my dad to use for his law firm. Pretty sure he's going to be blown away. Plus, he won't have legal pads stacked everywhere anymore. I hope at least!

Hi - thank you for taking us through the device as you use it. I am thinking about ordering the A5X and was debating between the LAMY pen vs. the Supernote pen (heart of metal or the standard one). I understand that the LAMY pen has an erase button. Does it have a ceramic nib like the Supernote pen?

[@WojtekCzaderna]

Did you just thrown that thing on your desk just like that?! Great start of the video :D Ok, minute later I got the point ;)

[@psifi0095]

Wow! CPO and Voja from My Deep Guide have both become Supernote devotees virtually overnight ... now waiting to see if JB from Morning Coach will join the team! Thanks for some great tips here, Chris.

[@NixysMadEvents]

Hi there, great reviews as always. Does the NOVA3/A5X (7.8inch) have hand-writing search and hand-writing to text conversion? I can't see it described anywhere and its important to me so I don't have to create text bookmarks all the time like I currently have to do on my surface in OneNote. I want a primary e-paper note taker and kindle&epub reader so I can ditch my Kindle and let my surface be a PC (because OneNote just does not cut it). A5X or Nova3?

Awesome ! I have the A5x now for quite a while. Now I figured it is possible to use hyperlinked PDF with it. I love your video. It is very easy to follow your thoughts and the way you have set it up for your needs.Quick question, have you created the templates with Laurel Studio or what have you used for it ?

[@xinjinc]

I love that "1Year" document! My work involves scheduling things way in advance, so that would be very useful for me. Did you create it?

[@OmanLoverCallOfDuty]

Thank you for the review. Can I use this to study and read books like Kindle with a different format (pdf, epub,...)?!

[@89DerChristian]

Yes you can read pdf, epub etc. And on the A5X and A6X you can use the kindle app

[@uscglen]

Any chance you'll be doing a 2022 version that we can download? I've been using this ever since I got my Supernote in November.

Thank you for this great video! I just got my Supernote A5X a few hours ago and am trying to wrap my mind around its functionality.

I wish it had a meeting date and time stamp on the page, then you could title the meeting “Planning Meeting” for that particular client.

Thats why I got one too!

[@stacyaguilar8228]

I have the A5x and I’ve barely used it bc quite honestly I was overwhelmed… so this is encouraging me to try again. For the daily calendar you use, do you have to link it to your quick view every day? Or does it switch to the current day automatically bc it’s a planner you uploaded?

[@nbamford03]

I had an Onyx Boox note air - similar device but way to difficult to get to grips with. It could do everything but it was such a chore. I ended up sending it back and am now waiting for an A5x. It seems to me that the developers have really put some effort into making a device that has the functionality but is actually usable in the real word.

[@samp.8975]

You should have received now I suppose , how do you find the difference between ? How is the kindle app, cause it seems so sluggish?

[@maz1980s]

I have been doing a research on the Note Air 2 and Supernote A5X, and finally pulled the trigger and ordered an A5X. For what I do, an engineer, there is no competition between the two. Supernote is way way better.

[@kerrykets]

Would you recommend the rm2 or this as of your findings so far. I just ordered the rm2 but now wondering if I should cancel it before it ships out this month and order this. Thanks

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

It depends. Really. No question the Supernote fits me better as a productivity device. The rM2 is better for drawing, but for how I use it, I recommend the AX5. So if this video sorta resonated with you, it would be worth considering.

[@turkishtexan]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo does the AX5 offer any thing like left-handed mode? The rM2 has one, but it still leaves the close document x button at the top left corner of the screen which means I exit out of every document I start writing in. I can work around it by hiding all the tools, but that just means I have to turn them on again EVERY TIME I want to change my pen, or line thickness, or anything. Is the A5X's top nav locked in place or can that be moved?

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@turkishtexan no. It has a floating toolbar that you can undock and move around... or hide... which is the solution to that problem, but no way to relocate the x when in the full docked position.

[@turkishtexan]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking at a freeze frame at 5:24 of your Daily Workflow Video. Do you mean the x in the top right corner? If so that's not a problem at all, in fact the other small cluster of icons to the left of the x are also not an issue. It's just the stuff on the top left that bothers lefties when we're working at the top of a page. Stuff on the top right isn't in play because our hand is trailing behind the pen. If the floating toolbar includes the stuff currently shown on the top left than I'm pretty sure the device will work for me and my kind.

[@DubTheFiend]

Where can this template be downloaded? I really like the layout of this planner and I can't get my google calendar to show any events on the app supplied by Ratta

Now Im even more excited to get mine. How do you feel about the battery life? Ive read some complaints so far.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

It’s not horrible. I use it everyday... and nearly all day at work. Last charge was Saturday over night. I’m at 35% this morning (Wednesday). So I’m probably getting 4 days heavy use. Maybe 5, but I’ll plug it in today.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

Meanwhile... I just read this from one of the Ratta reps... “The battery of the A5X is not bad. No one can write continuously within 7 hours. We enter low power consumption by monitoring the closure of the folio, which can effectively reduce unnecessary power consumption. We are about to release an update, when you lift the pen, the power consumption will drop rapidly. In this way, even in the working state, the power consumption performance of A5X will be much better than it is now. We will provide test data at that time.”

And imagine that the star mark could be made a customizable thing. In other words, instead of just a star mark, you can "tell" the A5X of different marks. Star being one. Maybe an asterix being another, a question mark with parentheses around it (?) would be another. Etc. etc.

Hey CPO I have a question hoping and praying u can help me out i just receive the AX5 and I had some notes in there and I am not sure what the hell happen to them if I deleted them or not, because I'm still learning this tablet. Can I get these notes back and if so how. Also how I deleted certain pages.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

If they are deleted, they are gone. Unless you are syncing and you can get them off the synced side (Dropbox or SuperNote cloud) from your phone or computer before it syncs. Sometimes I think I lost a whole page, only to find out I accidently swiped to a new page. I have to disable swiping to change pages (top right by the three dots) because I do this all the time. To delete certain pages. Tap the three dots at the top, go to overview, tap and hold a page and it will check it.. then you can check as many as you want and choose delete.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

If you have lost an entire notebook, it might just be stored in a place you didn't expect to have it. Try looking in recent folders, or doing a search for "2021" which should pull up all the notes created if you didn't change the name (or search by the name you gave it). If you know what day you created it, you can search for it by "20210112" for example Jan 12, 2021.
